Tunes and Brews Marathon: 6:37pm

Still going strong. I feel like it's going to be a night for winter beers. I've stocked up on plenty of darker ales for the occasion. Right now, I'm enjoying a Sierra Nevada Celebration, which is good, but doesn't warrant a picture above. Sierra Nevada is a good standby, but nothing too crazy. The good beer comes out later.

However, had to add a litle something about the current music. I was just able to get my hands on Jamiroquai's "Rock Dust Light Star". Wow. One of my old friends, JB, always explained Jamiroquai as "Space Funk", and this album follows suit. There last album "dynamite", had it's good moments, but nothing too outrageous. This album far surpasses the last. The opening alone just demands your attention. It's so familiar, yet so new. Fantastic. You continue with great funk tunes like "All Good In The Hood" and "Two Completely Different Things".

However, this album has a few slow moments that really catch you by surprise, in a good way. I couldn't name them all, because they show up in almost every song. This album has a vulnerability that doesn't show it's face in previous efforts. And it makes a big difference on the sound.
